A friend in Australia says I have crazy post apocalyptic skills.  While I appreciate the comment there is a reason.  When I was a young child my uncle and father were builders.  My uncle taught me how to be a building contractor and I have built many houses throughout New Hampshire.  While in college I worked four years in a tannery summers and winter breaks.  After my first stint in the Army I poured steel in a foundry for 27 months and worked as a logger.  Years later I owned a Tandy Leather Store in Lawton Oklahoma using the skills my family taught me as shoe cutters and fancy stitchers.  So my crazy skills are through years of hard work, study, and practice.  However if you wish to think I was born with all of this then please have at it.  Here are some of the photos of my shop and works in progress.  It's not pretty but it is effective.
